The next morning, Kole woke up to see that he was sleeping next to Blacksmith. When he stood up, Blacksmith murmured, "Where are you going this early?" Kole flinched when he said that.
Kole layed back down and said, "Uh... nowhere?" Blacksmith chuckled a bit and whispered, "Hm... we can leave at noon if you'd like?" "Yeah... it's too cold here." Kole agreed with Blacksmith and yawned.
"For now go back to sleep. It looks like you've been up for a while last night." Kole nodded and fell back to sleep. Blacksmith's smile turned into a frown and he said, "Mr. Nafario... he doesn't even know where we are now."
Mr. Nafario looked back at Blacksmith and said, "He'll find out soon. Ice will too. We need them for this." Blacksmith said, "They look fine how they are now. Why can't we do this... ya know... later?" "How later? It's better to do this now than never."
Kole slowly opened his eyes and he only saw white. He looked around and saw Ice next to him. "Ice... hey wake up." Kole was surprised when he saw his paw to nudge Ice. He looked at his paw and realized that he was a cub again.
Ice woke up and said, "Ahh.... is this a dream? You're a cub again..." Kole bit himself and said,
"Nope. This isn't a dream. Could we be in another world?" Then suddenly, the whole room went dark. "Eh? Who turned out the lights?" Ice shouted.
Then a light flashed on a doorway. Kole and Ice stood up and walked to the doorway, and saw a golden cheetah sitting in a corner. In front of him was a cheetah that emitted a pink aura. "How are... you took the chalice didn't you?" The pink cheetah said, "Why can't we be together? You said you love me!"
"I did! And I regret saying so... because I hate you! All you want is my children to harvest their power and take their lives... well now you got what you wanted. I'll take my leave now. Forever." The pink cheetah reeled back and said, "No... no! Please! Don't go!"
Her pleads weren't enough. The golden cheetah glowed, and he dissapeared. The lights inside the doorway dissapeared, and another dim light lit upon a cradle.
Kole and Ice walked up and looked inside the cradle. There were three golden spotted eggs. Kole looked up and saw the golden cheetah from before, but he looked very saddened of something. "Oh why can't I keep you three instead..." He murmured.
The golden cheetah lifted a paw, and the eggs shattered. Kole and Ice looked back into the cradle and saw three cheetah cubs. "Hey... that looks like Penny...!" Ice shouted. Kole looked at the three cubs once again and said, "Not only Penny... but us too. We came from eggs?" Ice stared in amazement, and Kole wanted to communicate with the cheetah.
However, the cheetah started crying, and walked away. Suddenly, the little cubs started disappearing. Kole said, "What is this place...?" A blue flame appeared in front of Ice and Kole. The flame danced around Kole until it entered him.
"...It feels hot..." Kole collapsed onto the ground sweating bullets. Ice rushed to Kole and shouted, "Kole! Are you alright?" Kole's eyes were closed shut in pain. Then a ball of glowing snow hit Ice's forehead and dissapeared.
Ice's nose turned white and he also collapsed on the ground. Kole opened one eye and reached out for Ice, but then he passed out. Ice opened his eyes and he blowed on Kole's face to try and cool him down a bit.
After a few minutes, Kole woke up feeling much cooler than before. He looked at his brother and saw him shivering. Kole managed to stand up and walked over to Ice. Then he layed down next to him and Ice murmured, "Don't leave... again..." A few seconds later, Ice stopped shivering and said, "Ah... I feel a lot warmer..."
Then the whole room went dark. Kole's claws lit up a subtle light and Ice said, "I think you have a fire spirit in you." Kole looked at Ice and said, "And you may have a ice spirit in you..." Then suddenly, everything turned black. Not even the light from Kole's claws were visible.
"M-Mr. Nafario! He's waking up!" A voice shouted. Kole opened his eyes and said, "Smith...? I had the strangest dream... Ice and I saw our dad... and then a fire spirit got inside me, and an ice spirit got inside Ice and we almost died."
Blacksmith sighed and said, "Well that's good news." Mr. Nafario rushed over and said, "Ice is awake too. Now we can go." Kole looked around and saw that he was under a Starlight tree with burn marks on it. Kole looked behind him and saw another Starlight tree with icicles on it.
Mr. Nafario said, "My my... Kole's power is truly fire..." Kole looked on the ground and saw that all of the snow that was around him melted. He looked at Mr. Nafario and said, "So... I'm a offical fire mage?" Mr. Nafario nodded and said, "Congratulations, Kole. You're one of us now."
Kole grinned from ear to ear and Blacksmith said, "Should we tell them about their appearances?" Mr. Nafario said, "Oh right! Kole, you and Ice are adults again." Kole looked at himself and said, "Wow... thank you Mr. Nafario!"
Mr. Nafario laughed and said, "You're very welcome! Now let's go back to town!"
